Founders: Moving to Kenya and building a fashion business

Joanna Maiden was 26 years old when she arrived in Kenya and decided to open her business. Starting in a tiny outhouse with just four machinists, over the next few decades she built Soko Kenya, a clothing manufacturing company. She discusses the challenges of building a business in rural Kenya, the setbacks she faced along the way, and how she brought in work from international brands.
